The story

Drawing on the high-mountain knowledge gained through freeride snowboarding and her experience in parachuting since 1998, Géraldine performs world premieres in base jumping and wingsuit flying.

She opens new flights from the most beautiful summits on the planet — in the Swiss and French Alps, on Baffin Island, in Greenland, Iran, Mali and Antarctica — from the mythical summit of the Drus and the Holtanna to the Matterhorn, alongside the eagles.

A wingsuit is designed like a wing: it increases the glide ratio and lets a human fly after leaping into the void. It can be flown from a plane, a helicopter, a cliff or a summit — playing with the relief of the mountain like a bird.
